SERENA RYDER

  • JUNO AWARD WINNER Pop, Easy Rock and Folk Music
  • Canadian Singer/Songwriter as heard on CFNO
  • Opened for
    • Blue Rodeo,
    • Steve Earle,
    • Aerosmith,
    • Cheap Trick
    • Xavier Rudd

Serena Ryder has already left an indelible impression in Canada, where her album If Your Memory Serves You Well has been certified Gold and contributed to her winning the 2008 Juno Award for Best New Artist.

For American listeners, this sets the stage for is it o.k., her full length debut for Atlantic Records on which Ryder paints a self-portrait that’s bitter in betrayal in “Sweeping the Ashes,”furious and yet not without affection in the hard-hitting “Little Bit of Red,”teasingly romantic on “Brand New Love,”struggling to understand another’s pain on “Hiding Place,”even careening through cascades of contradictory emotion, almost from one word to the next, on “All for Love.”

All of these moments Ryder brings to life with a performance that resonates in memory long after its last notes fade.

Passion, humor, playfulness, anger and exultation: is it o.k. offers each in abundance. But truth? Here, Ryder draws the line.

“This whole record is about realizing that the more we think we know, the less we do know,”she insists. “It’s about me coming to terms with the fact that I’m imperfect, about being comfortable with feeling what I’m feeling and embracing being human in any way I possibly can.”

Serena Ryder is now on tour with Melissa Etheridge.

Lorne Elliot (from LorneElliot.com)

Lorne Elliot

  • Just for Laughs Montreal Headliner
  • World-renowed Humorist
  • storyteller
  • musician

“I was born so far back I can hardly remember and grew up normally, I think. I started going on stage at a time when hair like mine was fashionable, and I hung a guitar hung around my neck to complete the look. Somewhere around that time people started laughing at me, and I saw no reason why I shouldn’t join them.
I’ve made a living off the products of my imagination for thirty years, so if you’re wondering if that’s possible I am here to tell you it is. Give it a whirl. You just might find an audience.” -Lorne

Canadian born, LORNE ELLIOTT has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and foolish enough to make everybody laugh. Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations of today’s trends that make LORNE ELLIOTT’s work so special.

LORNE ELLIOTT has performed his one-man show in theatres, universities and clubs. He opened concerts for Rodney Dangerfield in New York City and Jay Leno in Montreal. He has made regular appearances at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival since it started in 1986: each time his segments were selected for TV Specials, thanks to their universal quality. In Canada and the U.S. he has appeared on numerous talk shows and Variety shows.

Lorne Elliot has opened for Rodney Dangerfield and Jay Leno.  Lorne makes his long awaited return to Manitouwadge after an extended hiatus.
